Why do you open a tunnel? FYI, tunneling is achieved via svn+ssh://, what your
system is set up for is 'normal' svn:// access!

Did you setup users as described in /subversion/test/conf/svnserve.conf?

Note that OS-users reading or writing the repository need full write access to
the files within(well, at least the BDB). A different concept are users for
the svnserve process, those need to be configured separately.
Also, the svnserve should not run as root(if possible), but see the beek for
details.
